Excerpts from Makiko's writings:
"A small object always gives the viewer the pleasure of peeking into a compact world. When it comes to jewelry, the artist's imagination concentrates on a small form while, at the same time, it is expected to develop a chemistry with the wearer".
"Jewellery is a weird thing. It has no functional purpose yet it can be seen all over the world and its wearer carries it almost everywhere".
"People usually go back to the basics when they feel lost. It is a sure way to get yourself back again".
